Abstract A self-lining receptacle such as a handbag or the like is provided which includes a pair of closure strips or tapes which are secured to opposite inner surfaces of the bag and which provide closure of the bag when pressed together. The bag is manufactured by folding a blank of material to which the strips have been secured, lengthwise along the longitudinal centerline thereof so the unfinished side is exposed. Adjacent edges at one end, and the side opposite the fold, are sewn together after which the folded blank is turned inside out through the open end. This end is then sewn closed and is inserted back into the pocket formed by the other end, one half being tucked into the other half so that the finished surface of this half forms a lining and that the strips are located on the lining opposite one another, adjacent the opening at the top produced by this step.
